People who flaunt wealth publicly suffering from poverty mentality -Stella Damasus

Nollywood actress Stella Damasus, has opened up about how a person’s upbringing reflects the person’s attitude towards money, fame and validation

The actress who spoke in the recent episode of Tea with Tay, said, those that grew up in wealthy and comfortable home are less likely to be overwhelmed by wealth. Adding that when you grow up in a comfortable and rich home, there’s no amount of money or fame that will make the person go crazy. For her, the person is already grounded in some things about life and they already have that fulfilment that money alone cannot provide.

Stella said: “The truth is, when you grow up in a comfortable home, there’s no amount of money or fame that will move you crazy. When there’s love at home… what is it that anyone wants to do to me that I did not experience growing up?

Damasus further criticised those in the habit of flaunting their wealth or those who just want public validation through their wealth

“So, when I see people going all crazy because of money, I sometimes think, maybe you’re not used to this. If you’ve grown up with a certain lifestyle, you recognize what feels like an achievement and can be content: ‘This is good. I’ve achieved this. That’s okay. Keep it moving.

“But when you want the whole world to know, ‘Look at this money, it suffered for my hand… you must see that I have it,’ that’s a mentality,”
